Rear Window Wiper/Washer - Fiat 500X 2018 Owner's Manual

64 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Rear Window Wiper/Washer

The rear wiper/washer controls are located on the lever on
the right side of the steering column. The rear wiper/
washer is operated by rotating a switch, located at the
middle of the lever.
Rotate the center portion of the lever upward to the
first detent for intermittent operation and to the
second detent for continuous rear wiper operation.
To use the washer, push the lever forward and
hold while spray is desired. If the lever is pushed
while in the intermittent setting, the wiper will
turn on and operate for several wipe cycles after
the end of the lever is released, and then resume the
intermittent interval previously selected.
NOTE:
• As a protective measure, the pump will stop if the switch
is held for more than 30 seconds. Once the lever is
released, the pump will resume normal operation.
• When front wipers are continuous and the vehicle is
shifted in REVERSE, the rear wiper will perform one
round up to clean the rear window.
If the lever is pushed while the wiper is in the off position,
the wiper will operate for several wipe cycles, then turn off.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is turned to
the STOP mode, the wiper will automatically return to the
"park" position.
Rear Window Defroster
The rear window defroster button is located with
the Climate Controls on the instrument panel. Push
this button to turn on the rear window defroster. An
indicator in the button will illuminate when the rear
window defroster is on. The rear window defroster auto-
matically turns off after approximately 20 minutes. To
manually shut the defroster off, push the button a second
time.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to
the heating elements:
• Use care when washing the inside of the rear win-
dow. Do not use abrasive window cleaners on the
interior surface of the window. Use a soft cloth and a
mild washing solution, wiping parallel to the heat-
ing elements. Labels can be peeled off after soaking
with warm water.
